Footsteps were steady - a melody all their own - as following departure from the command ready room and the checkin and interview process with them Aurelian Vale had made his way through the ship for his check-in and interview by Medical (Deck 3) and Councelling (Deck 33) to be sure the proverbial ducks are in a row while the passive measure of his being drew him through on a path towards the rear of the ship and Deck 18 heading for Engineering Head’s Office. Thoughts of unpacking and settling in being the last thing in his mind long after a desire to be of value and bear purpose to the Chimera. Coming to the office he would pause outside the door signalling his arrival as he waited to be sure it was an appropriate time and indication was given for his entry before he would make way into the office and pause standing at attention so that he wasnt interrupting more important tasks before he would identify himself.

“Sir, Ensign Aurelian Vale reporting for duty as a transfer from Starfleet Academy to join the ranks of the USS Chimera engineering department…” Aurelian spoke calmly and clearly as he looked towards the department head with one amber-gold eye and one blue eyeport which looked towards Sapeth in a passive manner of merely existing as there was presently nothing needing scanned on an audio, visual, transmission or scan based measure.
